Chapter 392: Qingping goes north (four thousand and forty two chapters in one)
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, His Highness the King of Wu, His Highness the King of Wei, His Highness the King of Shu, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and Princess Shenxing are waiting to meet outside the palace."
Outside the empty Tai Chi Palace, there were a total of six men and one woman standing here.
The one on the far left is dressed in a yellow dragon robe, with a golden crown on his head. He has a square face and a beard on his lips. He looks to be about thirty years old.
This man is Li Qian, the prince of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
From him to the right are several other princes and princes of the Tang Dynasty.
The one on the far right is the only one among the seven who is a woman. She is also the only princess among the princes of the Northern Tang Dynasty who was respected by the Tang Emperor as a woman.
Princess of the God Star.
She wore an aqua-blue dotted ink gauze skirt and a beaded crown on her head. Although she was a woman, her temperament was unique among the princes and princes. She was like a dazzling star in the night sky, and her whole body exuded a special feeling. temperament.
"Your Majesty has a decree to declare to your Highnesses the Princess's Golden Palace."
The great eunuch of the Northern Tang Dynasty in front of the Taiji Palace spoke loudly, with a melodious and gentle voice, just like an old Confucian who had read poetry and books, and there was no hint of the sharp and feminine eunuch.
Bada~
The door was closed tightly. Prince Li Qian walked in front, gently bent down and pushed the door open.
Several younger brothers and sisters followed behind.
After walking in, several people kept bowing and did not dare to look directly. They first saluted and kowtowed, then stood up and looked directly at the emperor on the dragon throne.
"You guys, do you know why the Tang Dynasty established Chang'an as its capital?"
After the prince, several princes, and the princess bowed down, the Emperor of Tang Dynasty did not raise his head and was still reviewing a memorial on the Dragon Case. However, he asked such an unexpected question without any warning.
Prince Li Qian and several princes were immediately stunned.
Princess Shenxing was also thoughtful at this moment, and her eyes caught a glimpse of Wu Pheasant holding a fan behind her father.
Wu Zhi gave a cryptic "response that even a slave would not know".
Princess Shenxing lowered her head and thought.
Now is the time when the Tang Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles. On the front line, Uncle Xuanba and Master An were both taken down. More than 800,000 tiger and wolf soldiers went south, but no one returned. Internally, Wang Xianzhi rebelled and separatized one side. For more than half a year, Several conquests were made, but to no avail.
At this juncture, the father called all the princes and princesses in the capital to ask such a question, which obviously had great meaning.
Just when Princess Shenxing was still thinking.
The King of Wei, who was second to her left, took a step forward slightly, his voice as firm as iron:
"Back to my father, there are records in the history books. Thousands of years ago, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu dominated the world. Wei Wu, one of the overlords, whipped his whip and marched south to Chang'an, the capital. However, at that time, Prime Minister Zhuge asked the immortal to use his sword and descend from heaven. He came and killed Emperor Wu Wu of Wei with one sword, split Chang'an three thousand miles apart, and cut off Wei Wu's dragon transport in Chang'an.
Wei Shuyun said: Chang'an is the place where dragons are slain, the vastness of heaven and earth is unknown, and it is hated by all countries."
"Due to the end of the country's destiny, the Later Wei Dynasty moved to Chang'an for various countries more than once, but no country dared to make it its capital."
Having said this, the young King Wei of the Tang Dynasty spoke in a high-spirited tone, with more iron-blooded confidence:
"I am alone in the Tang Dynasty. I do not believe in the heresy of subjugation of the country. I know that this is the place where dragons are slain, but I still exclude criticism and continue to build a country and a capital here. The purpose is to tell the world that the Tang Dynasty will rise on the ruins of the Wei Dynasty without fear of anything in the world." Challenge can break all heresies."
"With such strong self-confidence from top to bottom in a country, the Tang Dynasty will eventually usher in a prosperous age for Yanfu for ten thousand years!"
The young King Wei said excitedly:
"Father, we all know that temporary success or failure means nothing. Just like eight hundred years ago, we, the Tang Dynasty, will always stand here. As long as you are still here, as long as we are still there, as long as our people of the Tang Dynasty are still here. , the Tang Dynasty can continue to rise from the ruins and tribulations like Emperor Taizu did at that time, and move forward stronger!"
The eyes of the palace maid Wu Fei behind the dragon chair unexpectedly fell on the young King Wei.
"What a great Li Tai..."
The expression on the face of Prince Li Qian, the leader on the left, changed slightly. Even he himself felt that his fourth brother's answer was too good.
This is the answer my father wants.
At such a special moment, Datang really needed a place of faith and support that could inspire him.
Could it be...
The reason why my father called them all here today is to test who is more suitable in this situation...
Prince Li Qian was a little confused.
Originally he was respected as the prince, but the fourth child was named King of Wei, which originally belonged to the title of the former capital of Chang'an City.
From this point of view, among the kings, King Wei is the most qualified to threaten him, and he is also the younger brother who has the capital to threaten his status.
Plus today...
Princess Shenxing keenly felt the prince's nervousness, but she shook her head in her heart:
"Fourth brother's answer is indeed very good, but the problems faced by Datang today cannot be reversed by just talking about a few high-sounding words..."
Therefore, the father's question must have other profound meanings...
On top of the Dragon Case, Emperor Tang finished reviewing the volume of memorials and stood up from the table.
Several people, including the prince, immediately bowed their heads slightly.
Emperor Tang walked out of the desk, and his eyes swept majestically, landing on his seven children. He especially paused on King Wei for a long time, nodding expressionlessly:
"That's true, but you only know one, not the other..."
He now walked down the nine white jade steps.
Wu Fei's curiosity was also aroused at this time. She felt that King Wei's answer was already very good, but what did "only know one" mean?
She watched Emperor Tang slowly walk down the steps, and then walked to the center of the main hall of Tai Chi Palace.
At this moment, when Wu Pheasant looked over, when Emperor Tang, who was sitting in the seventy-two states of the world, walked among his children, suddenly, there seemed to be a special aura that echoed in the overlord and his children. …
It was a noble aura that looked down upon the world and controlled all living beings.
It is the weight of all living things.
It seems that the eight people, the father and the seven children standing in the middle of the Tai Chi Palace are, at this moment, the embodiment of the Tang Dynasty, suppressing the thousands of miles of magnificent mountains and rivers in the seventy-two states of Jambu.
"Is that the so-called dragon energy and national destiny?"
Wu Pheasant said secretly.
It turns out that the national destiny of the Northern Tang Dynasty was not only in the body of Emperor Li Tang, but also in the bodies of his several sons and daughters.
Especially on the prince, it is extremely rich.
After all, the prince is a descendant of the country, and he is also responsible for the country's dragon destiny, which is very reasonable.
"Today, I will tell you the reason why the Tang Dynasty wanted to rebuild the capital in the old capital of Wei State..."
In the center of the hall, Emperor Li Tang stood with his hands behind his hands and said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
The moment he finished speaking, the seven princes and princesses had not yet waited for their reactions.
Suddenly, the entire Tai Chi Palace trembled and shook, emitting a bright golden light. Then, the smooth mirror-like marble floor in the Tai Chi Palace turned into powder and collapsed seven or eight feet...
Only the place where Emperor Li Tang and his children were, as well as the place where the Dragon Throne was located, did not collapse.
The sudden agitation and splashing of dust and mist caught everyone in the hall by surprise.
Immediately, several princes, princes, and princesses, including Wu Zhi, heard an ancient dragon roar at the same time. It came from the collapsed underground Jiuyou, and it rippled into their souls like a tide...
In an instant, the souls of the seven young princes and princesses all trembled.
"dragon?"
They all looked at the emperor with shocked eyes.
Emperor Tang stood with his hands behind his hands. At this time, a cold and indifferent feeling gradually appeared on his body. He looked down at the black abyss from the Tai Chi Palace and said:
"In the past, Emperor Wu of Wei practiced as an emperor, and because the emperor was the most favored person in the country, he accepted the great Wei Kingdom into his body, so that the path of cultivation went smoothly, and it was only less than eight years after he became emperor.
, with the help of the dragon energy of a country, the realm is only one step away from the immortal..."
Upon hearing this, not only the princes and princesses became pale and shocked.
Wu Zhi and another palace maid also seemed to have heard the secret.
It turns out that after becoming the emperor of a country, he was so blessed with the help of dragon energy to practice.
Then why has it been almost impossible to hear of the Immortal Emperor from ancient times to the present?
The Emperor of Tang Dynasty said coldly:
"That's because under the way of heaven, if you give up, you will gain. If you practice with the Dragon Luck of a country, you will certainly get the help of the Dragon Luck, but you will also tie yourself to the destiny of a country. From then on, this country and this country will be together.
An emperor will be both prosperous and destructive. Once the emperor is assassinated, or if he practices walking in the fire and becomes a demon, and the middle path collapses, then the country will easily fall apart."
This is the reason why the Wei Kingdom was destroyed.
"Father, what exactly is that dragon roar we heard underground..."
Prince Li Qian asked in shock.
Tang Huang had no expression on his face and said:
"It's the dragon corpse of Emperor Wei Wu..."
What?
Several princes took a deep breath.
"Emperor Wei Wu's...dragon corpse."
Princess Shenxing reacted the fastest.
"It's...a corpse."
Tang Huang said in an emotionless tone:
"Back then, Wei Wu was able to cultivate into an immortal in just half a step, but the Prime Minister Zhuge asked an immortal to kill him with a sword from a million miles away. Historical records record that there was a yellow dragon weeping blood, and the blood was black and yellow, and it spread all over Chang'an, and the place where the dragon head was.
, it was called Longshouyuan, and finally our Tang Dynasty built the Tai Chi Palace on it."
"The dragon corpse under the Taiji Palace is a remnant of the fate of the Wei Dynasty, and it has been nourished by our Tang Dynasty for eight hundred years. Furthermore, it is now indistinguishable from our Tang Dynasty..."
Princess Shenxing suddenly asked:
"Does the emperor mean that we can dig out the dragon corpse of Emperor Wei Wu again and put it under our control?"
At this moment, excitement and fanaticism appeared on the faces of the princes and others.
Tang Huang had no expression on his face and said:
"This is exactly the reason why I sent an order today to let seven of your brothers and sisters enter the palace."
He stood in the middle of the hall, which was like a pillar in the abyss, with his hands behind his hands, and said:
"Both you and I are tied to the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty. The blood of you and me can be called dragon blood. As long as we drop the dragon blood of the Tang Dynasty on the dragon head under the Tai Chi Palace, we can
Breathe new life into that Wei Wulong corpse..."
Princess Shenxing said in surprise:
"This means that we can get an immortal-level Dragon of the Tang Dynasty?"
Wu Zhi, who was holding the fan behind the dragon chair, suddenly thought of something at this moment and felt a chill in his spine:
"What exactly did I see today?"
Should she and the little palace maid on her right know such a secret of the Tang Dynasty?
No wonder there are only two maids serving in the Taiji Palace today, but there are usually seventy-two. Today, all the Jinwu guards outside the palace have also withdrawn.
It turns out that everything is because the most important event in the Tang Dynasty is going to happen here.
And as the two little palace ladies who witnessed such a secret.
Its fate...
As if they had thought of this, two of the six princes glanced at Wu Pheasant and the other person behind the dragon chair.
But Wu Pheasant never thought of it.
Emperor Li Tang stood with his hands behind his back, his back to them, and said in an unchanged tone:
"After the dragon corpse is resurrected, it needs to be fed with blood to develop its nature. It is similar to the tempering of weapons. Human blood is the best. Those two people will sacrifice their lives for the Tang Dynasty and feed the dragon with their bodies..."
Taiji Palace is so big, the emperor's words fell on the ears of Wu and Zhi instantly.
Plop~
The palace maid in pink clothes next to Wu Zhi immediately lost her legs, her face was dull, and she sat on the ground in despair.
Although Wu Zhi could barely stand, at this moment he shouted desperately in his heart:
"This... let me be buried with you..."
She didn't expect that it wouldn't be her turn to deal with her afterwards, but she would soon be... fed to the dragon!
"I can't die, I don't want to die!"
At this moment, Wu Pheasant's heart flashed with lightning, and thoughts were running wildly in his mind.
She finally got the opportunity in the Palace of Reincarnation, and in less than a year, she climbed from the lowest level of palace maid to the Tai Chi palace maid who could serve the emperor, and even practiced practice from scratch to the level of a minor master.
But it turned out to be the position next to the emperor she was so proud of, and now she was standing in front of the gate of hell.
"Reincarnation Hall!!"
Wu Fei groaned in despair.
She hoped that a miracle would happen and that the Palace of Reincarnation would give her a task at this time and take her away...
But, it's not possible.
As for her next event, that's a month away.
In this case, who can come to save her?
How is that possible.
This is one of the most forbidding places in the world.
In the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, under the suppression of Long Yun, even if the immortals came in, they could not take action against the most noble people here.
And which immortal in the world would be willing to save a little palace maid like her?
She has no contact with any immortals.
Wu Pheasant was desperate.
Perhaps this is the sad fate of most low-class creatures in this world.
The sad thing is that life and death can be determined by one or two words from others, and you can't do anything.
She is a little master.
Even if there is no Jinwu Guard guarding here today.
But as long as her old master was standing here, she couldn't do anything.
Princess of the God Star.
The female grandmaster of the Tang Dynasty, who was the true successor of the Martial God An Rushan, was even close friends with Changsun Wushuang, the number one young man. Because he was three years older than Changsun Wushuang, and the list of candidates was originally from the Northern Tang Dynasty, so he
The cultivation level of this divine star princess was not exposed.
But as Wu Zhi, who had served her before, knew very well that this princess had already reached the state of great master perfection, and was the only person in the royal family whose spiritual talent was second only to her uncle Li Xuanba.
If not, how could she be so favored by Emperor Li Tang.
Therefore, Wu Pheasant collapsed in despair.
She must die.
But just at this moment.
Bang bang bang~~
Gently clapping came from somewhere in the empty Tai Chi Palace, and then a young voice with a very clear voice came:
"As expected of the Tang royal family with eight hundred years of foundation, it actually has such a back-up plan. If my son comes a little late, I'm afraid you will really have to grow up again..."
At that time, several princes and princesses had already walked to the abyss below in great excitement, ready to cut their arms and drip blood.
At this time, the boy's voice came like silent thunder.
The expression that Emperor Li Tang had maintained suddenly changed at this moment:
"Who??"
How could someone enter the Tai Chi Palace without anyone noticing?
Since Song Cheng came in front of him last time, he had already asked the group of Confucian scholars and Qi practitioners from White Horse Academy to set up induction formations throughout Chang'an City. Although it would not be able to block the immortals, there would definitely be warnings.
…
But, this young man who spoke...
At this time, the eight most distinguished fathers and sons in the Tang Dynasty looked at the direction of the sound at the same time.
In the Tai Chi Palace, the space in the upper left corner suddenly opened, and a young man standing with his hands behind his back slowly stepped out.
It’s Lu Qingping!
He went north to Chang'an and even came to the Tai Chi Palace!
